    Tenderloin Beef Tips and Mushrooms is my "go-to" recipe for my family when we want a delicious dinner. This steak tips recipe is easy to make and satisfies all beef lovers!

    plate of beef tenderloin tips and mushrooms

    I live with two big guys that love beef. My vegetarian daughter is at college so my husband and teenage son think they have free range to decide what's for dinner every night. When I ask them what they want for dinner, it's usually steak so I made these tenderloin beef steak tips for them. I love easy and quick meal ideas that I can make on a weeknight! Serve it with a side of air fryer broccolini or green arugula salad.

    Whenever I can, I love to buy Certified Angus Beef Brand. Their beef is fabulous and full of flavor.  

    beef tips recipe ingredients

    Ingredients Needed

    • Beef Tenderloin Tips – Tenderloin tips come from the end of the tenderloin and are an incredibly tender cut of beef.
    • Steak Seasoning – You can add a simple seasoning of salt, black pepper and garlic powder or use a blend such as Montreal steak seasoning or another steak blend.
    • Olive Oil – Use any light, neutral flavored oil.
    • Mushrooms – Baby bellas are a favorite or you can use white button mushrooms. Cut large mushrooms in half or into quarters.
    • Beer – The beer adds a lot of flavor so use something you also enjoy drinking. You can substitute beef broth if you aren't a fan of beer.
    • Butter – Using unsalted butter gives you better control over the dish's saltiness.
    • Fresh Parsley – Fresh herbs add a pop of color and a bit of flavor. If you don't have access to fresh herbs you can use dried parsley or omit it.
    • Salt and Pepper – Season to taste.

    Buying Beef Tenderloin Tips 

    Beef Tenderloin can really drive our grocery bill up so I am going to give you some tips today. Sorry about the pun. I just had to throw it in.

    Making tenderloin tips are a great way to get a premium cut of meat without paying the premium price.  Tenderloin beef tips are basically the leftovers from the tenderloin roasts. They weigh various amounts and come in different sizes because you are getting the leftovers or scraps. The prices are much better than if you were to buy the tenderloin roast or filet mignon steaks.

    When I see them at my grocery store, I buy as many as I can and store them in the freezer. If there is an opportunity to buy tenderloin beef tips at a discounted price, I take it!

    You can get a bigger piece of meat or tenderloin steaks too and cut them up but the price is going to be higher. Still, it's worth it to me because my family loves this meal and it's so easy to make.

    This is a gourmet meal that cooks really quick. I'm talking so quick that if you have 30 minutes to cook dinner,  you might be able to nap the last ten. I like to pair this dinner with an air fryer baked sweet potato and dinner is served.

    How to Make Tenderloin Tips & Mushrooms

    1. Bring the steak to room temperature for 30 minutes. Sprinkle the steak seasoning on the mushrooms and steak.
    2. Heat a cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat.
    3. Add the oil to the heavy skillet and add filet pieces. Cook for two minutes until they start to brown but are not cooked all the way through. Remove from pan.
    4. Add mushrooms to the cast iron pan and cook for about 5 minutes until wilted and juices have released. Add the beer to the pan and reduce temperature to medium heat. Cook until beer starts to reduce and mushrooms look almost cooked through.
    5. Add butter and cook until melted and the sauce slightly thickens. Whisk the sauce. 
    6. Return the steak to the pan and cook for about 2 more minutes or until steak is cooked through but still a little pink on the inside.
    7. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and season with salt to taste before serving.

    Tips

    • Use room temperature meat. Bring the meat to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help it to cook more evenly so you don't overcook the steak.
    • Make the pan hot. Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it is smoking hot before adding the steak bites to the pan. A high temperature will give the meat a great sear and lock in all of the juices.
    • Use a meat thermometer. Ideally, steak is cooked to medium rare. This will give you incredibly tender beef tenderloin steak. The internal temperature should read 130-140 degrees F for medium rare. Cooking to a higher temperature is a personal preference but may affect the tenderness of the meat.
    • Use the pan drippings. The pan drippings make a delicious sauce.

    Variations and Substitutions

    • Use other cuts of beef. Instead of tenderloin steaks you can sirloin steak, cut down a whole tenderloin or use filet mignon steaks or prime rib, however, you will pay a premium price. The key is to select tender cuts of beef. A lean cut typically results in tougher cuts of meat.
    • Add umami flavor. Add a splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce to bump up that umami sensation and create a notable extreme beefy flavor.
    • Swap the beer. Beer adds great flavor but you can replace it with wine or beef stock if you prefer.

    FAQ

    What type of pan is best to cook this beef recipe in?

    I love to use a cast iron skillet for this steak tips recipe. I get my cast iron pan really hot and dinner is ready to roll. It's not necessary to have a cast iron pan for this recipe but I do love cooking any type of steak in it. I own three different cast iron pans. A heavy stainless steel pan also works well.

    How can I use leftovers steak tips?

    If you have leftovers, steak tips make an incredible beef stroganoff. Add a creamy, silky mushroom gravy and serve over egg noodles.

    What to serve with beef tenderloin tips?

    Top the beef tips with a savory mushroom gravy by thickening the pan juices with a cornstarch slurry. Serve along side mashed potatoes, green beans and a glass of red wine for an elegant, yet simple dinner.

    Valentines day is next week and this would be a great meal to make at home. I don't know about you, but I'd much rather make Tenderloin Beef Tips with Mushrooms then be at a crowded steakhouse.

    Side Dish Serving Suggestions 

    Cancel the reservations, fire up your cast iron pan and have a relaxed dinner with a nice glass of wine. This beef goes great with many side dishes. Here are some of my favorites:

    • Parmesan Truffle Hasselback Potatoes  
    • Lemon Roasted Asparagus
    • Air Fryer Baked Potatoes with Seasoned Sour Cream
    • Balsamic Roasted Air Fryer Carrots via Kinda Healthy Recipes 
    • Avocado, Tomato and Arugula Salad with Cilantro Vinaigrette

    • Pan Fried Potatoes and Onions

      Haha, I love the "you might be able to nap the last 10" of cooking this recipe. Sounds like something I could get used to. 😉 But seriously, I'm with your guys on this and I LOVE steak. I could eat it every day, but I know I shouldn't and I know it gets pricey. But this looks absolutely delicious. My hubby usually cooks the steaks, but I might have to surprise him with this one!

        I wouldn't recommend that as it might make the meat a bit tough and filet tips are a bit pricey to do that to If you wanted to cook ahead of time and freeze, I would use a less expensive cut of meat and make stew or a pot roast but of course the cooking time would be much longer.

      I made this recipe tonight and it was delicious! We didn't have steak seasoning so we used 21 seasoning salute from TJ's instead. I didn't have mushrooms but did have small golden potatoes, so I cut those up, microwaved them for 5 minutes until just fork tender, then threw them in the freezer for about 15 minutes. We added some sliced onion before adding the potatoes (my mushroom replacement) and browned those for a little. We used IPA beer because that's what we had. Finally, we added a little Worcestershire sauce in the end to round out the flavor which probably would not have been necessary is we had steak seasoning. We let it sit for 5 minutes after cooking to absorb all the juices fully and dug in. It was very tasty and tender! Will definitely make again. Also took less than 30 minutes from start to finish.

        I've never tried it but I'm sure it could. It would probably give the sauce a bit of a sweeter taste. You can also use wine or beef broth.

      Very good recipe- I'd just add a few suggestions:

      To make this a complete dinner, make some egg noodles and toss this recipe over the noodles- excellent beef stroganoff!

      To do this I'd suggest adding some cornstarch/water (slurry) to thicken the sauce!

      I just made this. I had found a couple of 1 pound tenderloins on sale today and didn't know what I was going to do with them. I used good olive oil and beef broth and had some shiitakes and it came out beautifully. I will use the rest of the cooked beef leftover for stroganoff!

        Hi Brenda,
        I don't think pork would be as tender as the beef tips. I'm not sure you can buy tenderloin tips from pork as I have never seen that at my butcher. You could probably cut a pork tenderloin into pieces however keep an eye on cooking time as it won't be the same as beef. Good luck!
